Juma Al Majid Group Launches Hospitality Arm

Dubai, UAE - 16 September 2015 – Juma Al Majid Group, the Dubai-based family-owned conglomerate, today announced the inauguration of its new division, Jood Hospitality. Marking its entry into the hospitality space with a legacy property, the company will now manage Jood Palace Hotel- Dubai, formerly Taj Palace Hotel.

This strategic decision to establish a hospitality management division is a natural step for Juma Al Majid Group. Already a leader and pioneer across various industry sectors including automotive and construction, the conglomerate has owned the property since it opened 14 years ago. The handover from TAJ Hotels Resorts and Palaces to Jood Hospitality is the first step in the company’s expansion into the hospitality sector.

With the handover of the property comes the promise to build on the delivery of quality and service to Jood Palace Hotel’s new and existing customers. Located in Dubai’s central Deira neighborhood, the hotel will uphold the values of Visionary, Founder and Chairman H.E. Juma Al Majid, remaining sympathetic and deeply rooted to its historical and traditional surroundings. The value of honor will be a central focus in Jood Hospitality’s mission to create culturally connected and palatial hotels of inimitable style, as underlined by Jood Palace Hotel’s brand tagline ‘Be Our Guest of Honor’.

Speaking on behalf of Jood Hospitality, Mr. Ziad Shahrouri, a senior executive officer at Juma Al Majid Group, said, “Cognizant of the United Arab Emirates’ stance as the established hospitality hub of the Gulf region, Juma Al Majid Group’s independent entry into the sector is with a distinct value, and a new dimension of hospitality. Jood Hospitality and Jood Palace Hotel are geared to be reflective of the doctrines of H.E. Juma Al Majid and Vice-Chairman H.E. Khalid Juma Al Majid, which remain firmly fixed to an intrinsic ideal: to uphold the honor of true hospitality.”

“Above all, Jood Palace Hotel is guest focused. We aspire to truly connect with our guests in order to provide the highest level of hospitality through our commitment and engagement. Passionate service that exceeds guest expectations through the philosophy of utmost graciousness and generosity is our brand focus. We look forward to welcoming every guest that comes through our door as our guest of honor”, said Mr. Ahmed Badawy General Manager, Jood Palace Hotel- Dubai.

Jood Palace Hotel- Dubai has been fully repurposed and has not made any changes to its operational staff. Founded in 2001, the property boasts 147 rooms, 12 suites, and 90 serviced apartments, as well as a selection of F&B outlets and a wide variety of meeting and convention facilities.
